Building DSOs

Building DSOs

In most cases, you can build DSOs as easily as archive libraries. If your library is written in a high-level language, such as C or Fortran, you won't have to make any changes to the source code. If your code is written in assembly language, you must modify it to produce PIC. This is described in "Position-Independent Coding in Assembly Language" in the MIPSpro Assembly Language Programmer's Guide.

This section covers procedures to use when you build DSOs, and includes the following topics:

"Creating DSOs"
"Making DSOs Self-Contained"
"Controlling Symbols to Be Exported or Loaded"
"Using DSOs With C++"
"Using Registry Files"
